★ Problems we solve
Solving Common App Development Problems
9/10 finding the right tech partners will ensure that you evade the common app development problems faced by startups and established businesses alike, such as:
Finding a development team that you trust
The problem
Not only is it hard to find a qualified developer, but it's also challenging to know if they will be able to complete your project on time and within budget. And what happens if they don't? You could be out thousands of dollars and still have an unfinished app.
How we help
We are a full-service app development company that has been designing and developing apps for clients since 2015. We are experts in iOS, Android, and web development, and we have a team of highly qualified app specialists who are passionate about their work. Not just that but we are based in Sydney so you can call in on us anytime and we do all our projects on a fixed-price basis so you know the costs can't deviate.
Have an app idea but don't know where to start
The problem
Most clients are non-tech and have little experience developing software like mobile apps. The process of taking an idea and turning it into an app that not only works but actually turns a profit can be extremely daunting. As such knowing where to start is an extremely common problem.
How we help
We are a full-service mobile and web app agency, meaning that we have everything you need to build a successful application all in-house under one roof. Our team of experts will work with you to lay the right foundations and make sure your app is perfect from the very begging. We also have an array of services from initial strategy sessions to more significant app workshops that are designed to guide you through the process.
Overcoming the complexities of app development
The problem
App development is a multi-step process that can often take several months to complete. As a non-tech founder or business owner, knowing what you need to cover off and ensuring that you are moving in the right direction can be a significant issue.
How we help
Our team will work with you every step of the way to make sure your app meets your needs and exceeds your expectations. We have created an app launch formula starting with laying the right foundations. Then from there, we work in sprints, providing you with regular updates and the ability to test and review what is being built. No matter what stage we are at, you will always be in complete control of the project.
Don't have the time or resources to build in-house
The problem
App development is a complex process that requires specific skills and knowledge to undertake. Not only do you need to find qualified developers, but you also need to make sure they understand your vision and are able to execute on it. That's not even including the other specialists that are required.
How we help
The best thing about working with our team is exactly that, we are an established team of app specialists that have been working together successfully for years. We are poised to get your project up and running quickly without the typical learning curves it takes when hiring in-house. At that stage, we can grow with you through maintenance agreements and even though the hiring of dedicated developers to work on your project long term
★ Proof
What our Clients Say
Devwiz helped us to define exactly what we wanted to build. We were new to app designs as were our SMEs. They provided our team with patient guidance, so even the least tech savvy amongst us understood each step of the process.
The process consisted of a validation workshop where we defined the functionality, and a design workshop where we created the UI for the MVP. The Devwiz framework for both workshops really helped to make the process as efficient as it could be, which is so important in any government industry. We are extremely happy with the results: a full Software Development Plan and complete UI designs (via InVision).

App Development FAQs
What does an app developer do?
An app developer takes your idea and turns it into a working app. At Devwiz that means the full job. We validate the idea, design the screens, write the code, test it, then launch on the App Store and Google Play. We also stick around after launch to maintain and grow it.
How much does it cost to hire an app developer in Australia?
It depends on what you want built. A simple app costs a lot less than a complex one with many moving parts. We give you a ballpark on the first call, then a fixed price once we have scoped it properly. A fixed price means the cost can't blow out on you partway through.
Can you work with us even if we don't have a fully formed idea of our app yet?
We specialize in working with companies whose app ideas are at different stages of development. You may benefit from our Idea Validation workshop, designed to help you move through this phase with an introduction to the Lean Canvas and client profiling.
Can you give me a ballpark quote for the project?
Yes, we will always try and give you an approximate price on your first call or email. Please note that we base ballpark estimates on our experience, so the actual final cost may go up or down as we take the time to explore your requirements in more detail. The more information you can provide us with about what you need, the more accurate our ballpark estimate is likely to be.
Are you able to work with our existing technical, design, or marketing team?
Yes, it is common for us to work with existing systems and teams. If these teams are crucial to the success of the project, then we would recommend arranging a call or introducing them early on, to explore their ideas and identify how to work around any potential limitations.
How can I track the development progress throughout the project?
Each of our projects will have a designated project manager who will be in touch with you regularly for updates and questions. We will also give you access to our project management board that we use to raise project issues and track progress.Once final payment is cleared, we will provide you the source code and you will be the owner of that source code.
Will you provide us with the app source code after development?
Yes, you will be assigned appropriate copyright or licence rights for the code that we write for your project. We are transparent with intellectual property rights, and you will have the opportunity to review our code ownership terms before the project begins.
Who will own the intellectual property rights to my app?
As it’s your idea, concept, and your business, you will own the rights of the app. Devwiz will just provide consultation and help you in bringing your idea to life.
